Through prayer we find what we cannot find elsewhere: a peace that is not of this world.' About the Author: Marianne Williamson is a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate and internationally acclaimed spiritual author and lecturer.

'No conventional therapy,' she says, 'can release us from a deep and abiding psychic pain. 'By all means, create your own.' Illuminata brings prayer into practical use, creating a sweeter, more abundant life.

How, Williamson asks, can we expect anyone to forgive when we have made no formal apology? 'Read my prayers or someone else's,' Williamson says. Williamson also gives us prayers for the healing of America, including a prayer of amends on behalf of European Americans to African Americans and one to Native Americans. There are prayers to heal the soul, prayers to heal the body, and prayers for work and creativity. There are prayers for couples, for parents, and for children, prayers to mend broken relationships and prayers to overcome obsessive and compulsive love. 'To look to God is to look to the realm of consciousness that can deliver us from the pain of living.' Illuminata delivers prayer into our daily lives with prayers on topics from releasing anger to finding forgiveness, from finding great love to achieving intimacy. Prayer is practical, Williamson tells us.
